Painful cyst

Started yesterday. Middle of my back, can't reach it myself. It started off as a small painful lump that I thought was a spot and asked my husband to squeeze it. He did and small bit of white stuff came out and thought that was it. Then pain returned and this afternoon I asked him to squeeze it again and this time loads came out, still small in size. Now it hurts to touch and its about the size of my palm but nothing else is coming out and i don't think i can take any more squeezing.

Very swollen and painful in certain areas. Tried hot water bottle on it thinking it might help but it didn't.

Do people go to GP this soon or is it something I need to wait out at home?

Take anti inflammatory tonight and a hot bath and see a doctor first thing tomorrow. You need antibiotics you have an infection and if not treated it will spread. Get your husband to mark around it with a biro pen and then check the size of it in the morning to see if the infection is growing in size

The cyst I had took years to grow, could this be a boil?

Your DH is a keeper @Hmmmm21 ! All he needs to do to complete his pimple popping training is to take photos of the offending spot.

Do you have any anti septic cream that you can put on it?
